This is a joint honours course, where you study International Relations alongside Sociology. International Relations studies world affairs and examines some of the critical issues of modern and contemporary times, such as the changing nature of international co-operation and conflict; the impact of globalisation on states and societies; and the persistence of world problems such as poverty, human rights and global environmental degradation. Our Centre for Global Politics, Economy, and Society has three research groups in Critical International Studies, European Politics and Society, and Social and Political Change. Teaching staff are active researchers with strong publication records. Sociology studies human social life, groups and societies. A wide-ranging subject, it analyses social relationships and social institutions, and the ways in which they shape people’s lives. Sociologists focus on many topics, ranging from global social processes to changing identities and personal relationships. Studying sociology will increase your knowledge and understanding of the social world in the 21st century. Our flexible course allows you to pursue your own areas of interest within the subject.

In the International Relations element of the course, what you study includes: Year 1 introduces you to the discipline of International Relations and looks at contemporary issues in world politics. In Year 2 you will study key areas of the discipline, including research into politics and international relations, global governance and the global political economy. In Year 3 you will be able to choose from a range of specialist honours modules including Global Environmental Politics, and International Human Rights Law. In the Sociology element of the course, what you study includes: Year 1 comprises two introductory modules which expose you to the fundamentals of sociological analysis. In Year 2 you decide how to build on this basis of sociological knowledge by choosing from a range of modules covering such topics as global social change, ‘race’ and ethnicity and gender relations. Year 3 includes honours modules and an optional dissertation module.
